A lot of plumbing advice is outdated or just wrong. Here are the myths Spokane Valley homeowners should stop believing.
Lemons clean disposals
Citrus freshens the smell but does not clean the disposal. Ice and a good scrub do the real work.
Flushable wipes are flushable
Most 'flushable' wipes do not break down and cause serious clogs. Only toilet paper goes down.
A dripping faucet is harmless
A slow drip wastes thousands of gallons a year and usually gets worse.
Chemical cleaners are safe
Harsh drain chemicals can damage pipes and rarely clear the whole clog.
